We will leverage an existing route to get us to the start of the 3 mile round trip bridge segment.
38.7 mi, 863 ft, Catalina Terminal Long Beach - Ride Leader : Mario     

Note the rather abrupt turn around noted here:
The Mark Bixby bike path on the Gerald Desmond bridge is the most recent addition to bridge bike paths in the region.  The entrance to the bridge path is located where the LART ends at Golden Shore.

Pace : L2/L3
Ride start is 9am, at the plaza just south of Captain Kidd's
The Tuesday ride varies by design. If you want novelty, this is your ride. Routes vary between ~35-55 miles, 1000-3000 feet of climbing. When we go to an eating place, expect a "digestion pace" on the return.

We often go to places that would otherwise be too crowded on a weekend (eg, Hollywood Sign, Inspiration Point, Porto's, etc). We are usually done by 1-2pm, and a coffee or meal stop is customary (usually at the end; sometimes that's the destination).
